Had a few issues with purchasing and getting all of the licensing squared away. Once that was resolved we made the initial purchase for SA Open Licenses on both Windows 7 Enterprise and our Office Products. We had used OEM in the past and had issues with the number of machines and keeping track of keys and installations.

We made the initial purchase of the 33 machines from Dell and then set about replacing all machines that had less than 2 GB of RAM.

We are still working out some compatibility issues with our EHR vendor but it went pretty smoothly, just took a long time.

I would upgrade generally 4-5 a week and then had to work for a couple weeks on other projects and then get back to installing more desktops and swapping those new desktops that were replaced by brand new dells with other older machines so we basically cycled through all of the old machines.
